Hello
I am needing your help. I am wanting to get a 150 or 200w solar blanket.
I don’t want to spend a fortune on it but also want good quality so can you suggest what I Should get?
I am not worried about the regulator as I will plug the panels straight into my Redarc BCDC.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I have never heard of “kickass” brand of camping equipment, where are they made? Are they another cheap Chinese import? Does anyone have any idea of the durability of their products? I have checked their website, and I did not find much about their company, just their product range.

I've bought a few KickAss products, storage battery, LED light kit for example, and have been pleased with the quality.
My brother bought standard 150W panels last year when they were on sale.
They had a video on line comparing the quality of their panels and carry bag with the aforementioned cheap versions. Even included some punishing treatment like jumping on them or something like that.
Anyway he is impressed with his purchase.
Even if they're Chinese, China will make stuff to your specs and price range. They can do cheap shit, they can do quality if you want it.

"Kickass".... dreadful Yankee name, but they do seem to be reliable products at reasonable prices.
Cheers

Hard Korr might be worth a look. Better warranty than Kickass.

Yep, Hard Korr are top quality and Aussie, but perhaps a little dearer. We have a couple of their products and we're very impressed.

Other than warranty would there be much difference between kickass and hard core?

I was looking at the hard core ones but for $200 less for the kick ass I could not tell the difference

Anyone?

Please Brent, use Hard Korr, not the other spelling. We'll be banned from the net entirely if we're not careful !!! : )
